I love to talk to people who have chosen to go all-in on their lives and businesses and especially those who decided to do it unconventionally. Paul C. Brunson is a fantastic example of that, and in today’s episode — the first of a two part series — we are talking all about his journey from college flunkie to celebrity.
Paul Carrick Brunson is a serial entrepreneur, television host, speaker, and author whose specialty lies in teaching others how to live and lead authentically. An internationally recognized expert in interpersonal relationships, personal development, and entrepreneurship, he currently serves as a featured business columnist for USA Today and co-host of UK’s Celebs Go Dating television show.
Major media outlets such as Good Morning America, the Oprah Winfrey Network, The Today Show, Nightline, and Black Enterprise have sought Paul’s insights on everything from finding love to pursuing your passion. Named as a Top Voice on LinkedIn and one of the world’s most influential matchmakers, Oprah said herself that, “Paul is much more than a matchmaker.”
The heart of his work is centered on impacting lives through mentorship and developing a new generation of servant-leaders with a desire to change the world. Paul is the founder and chair of “Give Love, Build Hope” – a non-profit organization dedicated to transforming schools in rural areas of the Caribbean. A proud son of his native Jamaica, Paul’s greatest achievements are in his roles of husband and father. When he’s not serving the world, he’s serving his family – likely with a Red Stripe beer in one hand and a good book in the other.
In this episode, Paul and I are sharing:
- How he went from a college flunkie to an investment banker to a matchmaker to working with Oprah
- Blueprints of success and how his own blueprint changed over time
- The moment that changed everything for him and the book that single-handedly changed his life
- Some of Paul’s favorite mantras for success
- How embracing his quirks helped him to chase his dreams
- The one thing he focuses on that is central to all of his businesses
- How he built multiple extremely successful businesses, including the #1 matchmaking industry in the world
- And so much more!
